Import Tips
• Document compression levels (e.g
• 15-20 mmHg) and ensure no medical claims to avoid FDA oversight or Chapter 90 reclassification
• Label exact cotton percentage; minor synthetic blends for elasticity may still qualify if cotton-dominant
• Check quota category 359 limits for cotton hosiery; exceedance leads to higher duties or visa requirements
